Deep in the darkest part of the Backstage of the circus lay a bundle of damp sheets. Only
thing weird about these sheets were that they were moving. As if it were a breathing
bundle of sheets. However, under the sheets lay something much worse. A human strapped up
in a straight-jacket. A collar around the human's neck, and a metal chain attached onto
the collar and tied up on a pole of backstage. This human was deformed just like all the
other acts. Her deformity was just inside of her. Her brain was replaced with a dog's
brain. She now acts like a dog, and gets trained like a dog. One of the training she had
been taught already was to eat raw human flesh. That was the reason for chaining her to a
pole, and putting her in a straight-jacket. So she wouldn't go to eat any of the acts.
Only flesh that the circus trainers gave her. Which were normally parts of the human body
from audience members who didn't particularly enjoy the circus.
The dog girl was currently sleeping under the covers. If she was to be wakened... Who
knows how she would react.

Neoma heard the 'hello', and turned to look in that direction. She cocked her head to the
side, and watched Marissa from behind the sheets.
"H-hello..." she managed to answer back, her voice low and doggish.
(alrighty~ ^_^)

Neoma cocked her head to the side, waiting for an answer. Nothing. It all had gone
silent.
"H-hello?" she barked slightly, her voice gruff and dog-like.
She was confused. Before she could hear people arguing and talking. Now it had all went
silent. Could she have been left alone? She couldn't deal with that. She didn't want to be
alone. She charged out from under the sheets, barking sadly. She choked herself when she
ran too far, the collar and chain not letting her run far and choking her. She stopped and
sat on the ground, looking at the three people in cages. She wasn't alone. She calmed down
slightly, cocking her head to the side, watching the three people.

Neoma perked her head up to look at Ash. Someone had spoken back to her. She stood up on
her hind legs slightly, her arms still tied in her straight-jacket. She then sat back down
again, scratching her ear with her left foot just like a dog would. She looked properly at
Ash, examining him. She then noticed his paws and tail.
"C-cat..?" she asked him with a slight bark, not meaning to frighten him with her bark, it
was just how she spoke.
